Dr. M Jackson has spent years researching glaciers and climate change. In The Secret Lives of Icelandic Glaciers, she effectively explains what glaciers are, why they matter to people and landscape, and how understanding the individuality and interconnections of people and ice is critical to engaging with climate change today. She poses a stark question: what actually happens as communities lose their glaciers? By drawing on the glacier-related narratives, knowledges, and practices of people living along the southeastern coast of Iceland, Jackson demonstrates the lived complexities peoples worldwide face living within modern transforming environments. Jackson shares unforgettable stories of Icelandic glaciers that will dramatically change how people worldwide think about ice.
